I get your point though, these are Bitcoin centered businesses which cater to Bitcoin specifically, and would likely fail outside the Bitcoin sphere. They are not a bunch of regular old businesses who have simply chosen to accept BTC as just another means of payment.

Getting some of those would be nice.

(Memorydealers could be an exception, but they seem to get a significant portion of their business from the Bitcoin community, so maybe not.)

MemoryDealers is most certainly an exception, for it was a successful business before bitcoin.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

if you could load bitcoins on a cellphone and the cellphone had an encrypted wallet with a special scanner to pay for an item at a cash register. that would solve any problem

We've already got that, but it still requires that the vendor accept bitcoin as a form of payment. Few do as of yet.

If the vendor doesn't accept bitcoin you should have the choice to pay with USD or bitcoin on your cellphone. It would make it easier, if the Bitcoins loaded on your cellphone could be converted into usd on it. If stores don't accept bitcoin, for example; lets say your on your cellphone getting ready to pay at the register, you have the choice to convert your bitcoin to usd and then scan your cellphone for whatever they accept.

think about HOW the btc gets into the store's account? just because it's wireless transmission that does not mean its magical and instant, it still needs to make its way across the network from your wallet to the store's wallet, it certainly won't be that quick

If it were possible to do with US $ what you describe in any secure fashion for any reasonable cost, Bitcoin could never have come to be to begin with.

If Ebay or Amazon starts starts accepting bitcoin I think the market is go nuts, and price shoot up fast!! I think Amazon has an incentive to go because they already do not like Paypal because it is affiliated with Ebay, thus if Amazon adopts bitcoin then the Paypal business is go bad! Also I can go spend my bitcoins there to buy things for me and my friends!
